Comic Book Resources posted an interview with Tim Siedell, the writer for the upcoming Dark Horse Comics series Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin.

“There are a lot of bad guys in the Star Wars universe. Some wear masks, others wear the clothes of a rich businessman and some tempt you with appealing whispers. Surround Vader with enough bad guys and he starts to look downright good by comparison — or not. By the end of the story, Vader has a pretty good idea of what he’s capable and not capable of doing.” -Tim Siedell

CBR touched base with Dark Horse Comics Editor Randy Stradley on a variety of subjects you’ll definitely be interested in. Randy spoke a little about the better than expected sales of Star Wars #1, re-confirmed that the Star Wars comic license is still with Dark Horse (though the future is always in motion), the character driven aspects of Brian Wood’s Star Wars series…

“As far as teasing the future, I hesitate to say much for fear of spoiling the surprises. I’ll say Wedge plays a larger part in what’s going on than you might imagine; Leia displays both strategic brilliance and emotional vulnerability; Luke follows his heart; and Han, well, Han displays a knack for getting into trouble.” -Randy Stradley

Randy also went on to discuss the upcoming miniseries Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin… Continue Reading CBR talks with Randy Stradley about all things Star Wars…
